Sinéad can meet with you or your family at either centre or at a location that best suits you. You may have specific questions about some of the difficult practical issues following the death of your loved one, for example: the grieving process, how to speak to a child about what has happened, the role of the coroner, the inquest etc. You may want guidance or assistance in accessing a therapeutic service, or even just want to talk with somebody about what has happened.In some cases, there may be a specific concern about the reactions and emotions family members or the wider community are experiencing. In any case we welcome your call.
A Suicide Bereavement Support Pack specific to County Roscommon is also available through the Suicide Bereavement Liaison Officer. This service is funded by the HSE National Office for Suicide Prevention.
